The document discusses the concept of providence and its relationship to creation and preservation. Providence refers to God's control and direction of the world. It is described as personal, thoughtful, careful, universal, particular, effectual, and supernatural. The document also discusses views on whether God's providence is general or particular, and provides biblical support for the view that it is both general and particular. Finally, the document outlines several views on the "days" of creation in Genesis and theories on the origins of life.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Providence
Creation—explains the world’s
existence (its coming to be).
Preservation—explains the world’s
continuance (its continuing to
be)
Providence—explains the world’s
control (its direction of being)
3. Providence
Providence comes from the Latin
pro and video, meaning
“foresight,” and by that “a
careful arrangement prepared
beforehand for the
accomplishment of
predetermined ends.”
4. Providence
Providence is:
1. Personal
2. Thoughtful
3. Careful
4. Universal
5. Particular
6. Effectual and
7. Supernatural
5. Providence
Some claim God has only
general providence over the
world, but not over every
particular in it. However,
God’s providence must be
both general a particular.
6. Providence
General providence refers to God’s
superintendence over the general
flow of events.
Particular providence relates to
His superintendence over each
thing.
These two are interrelated and
inseparable.
7. Providence
That God’s providence is also particular
and not general only is emphasized by the
following:
God can’t control the general without
controlling the particular.
God’s love for the general prompts
concern for the smallest detail.
The Bible confirms particular providence:
Job 23:10; 2 Cor. 2:14; Eph. 3:1
8. Views on Origins
Naturalistic Evolution: No God
involved in creation—things
emerged by a purely natural
process.
9. Views on Origins
Naturalistic Creation: There is no
Theistic God beyond the world—
only creative Mind within the
universe that creates. They would
account for the anthropic principle
using this view.
10. Views on Origins
Theistic Evolution: Holds that
there is a Theistic God beyond the
world who created it, but that
from that point on all living things
emerged under His control by
largely natural processes.
11. Views on Origins
Theistic Creation: Contends that
God directly created the universe,
living things, and human beings.
There is differing opinions about how
many things were created and how
much time it took, but there is
agreement that God was directly
involved in creating the world, life,
and humankind.
12. Appendix Three: (pp. 1526-1533):
Views on “Days” of Genesis
Twenty-Four Hour-Day View:
Contends that the Hebrew word
yom (day) is 24 hours unless the
context indicates otherwise.
Genesis 1, does not indicate
anything other than a 24 hour day.
13. Appendix Three :
Views on “Days” of Genesis
Days as Long Periods of Time:
There are indications in Scripture
to support the believe that
creation “days” were longer than
24 hours.
14. Appendix Three :
Views on “Days” of Genesis
The Revelatory-Day View: This view
holds that the reference to the days
are not the 24 hour days of creation,
but the 24 hour days of revelation,
meaning that God revealed to Adam
or Moses the creation of earth on day
one, the separation of sky and earth
on day two, and so on, for six days.
15. Appendix Three :
Views on “Days” of Genesis
The Alternate-Day-Age View: Some
hold that the days of Genesis are 24
hour periods of time in which God
created the things mentioned but
that they are separated by long
periods of time in between.
16. Appendix Three :
Views on “Days” of Genesis
Gap Theories: Made popular by
Scofield, it proposes a long span of
time between the first two verses of
the Bible. The argument is that the
Gen. 1:2 represents a time of chaos
that God would not have created.
Therefore, a cataclysm of some type
occurred after the initial creation of
Gen. 1:1.
17. Appendix Three:
Views on “Days” of Genesis
The Ideal-Time View: According to
this perspective, the earth and all
living things were created mature.
Trees had rings, animals were
mature enough to reproduce, Adam
and Eve were young adults, the earth
and the universe also were created
at the ideal age to sustain itself.
18. Appendix Three:
Views on “Days” of Genesis
The Literary-Framework View:
Holds that the use of “days” and
“evening and morning” are merely
ancient literary devices to frame
certain periods of time in order to
encapsulate them in that literary
form much like we use a “chapter”
to do the same.

20. Providence explains God’s control of the
world, its direction of being.
[Place your curser over True of False and click.]
22. Within the context of a Christian theistic
worldview, providence takes on which
seven characteristics?
23. What are the three arguments in support of
God’s “particular” providence?
1. God can’t control the general without
controlling the particular.
2. God’s love for the general prompts
concern for the smallest detail that affects
the general.
3. The Bible confirms particular providence:
Job 23:10; 2 Cor. 2:14; Eph. 3:1)
24. What “scientific evidences” does Geisler
provide for the “Long Days” in Genesis?
The speed of light and distance of the stars
The rate of expansion of the universe
Carbon 14 dating of rocks
The salinity of the oceans in light of the rate of salt going into
the oceans.
All of the above
25. Match the theory to the short definition:
Revelatory-Day View
The Alternate-Day-Age View
Gap Theories
The Ideal-Time View
The Literary-Framework View
The “days” and “evenings and mornings” are
merely ancient literary devices to frame
certain periods of time, used like a chapter
to divide a block of information in a book.
Genesis records a second creation, with a first
creation hinted at in verse 1 followed by a
large gap of time before the contemporary
creation account begins in verse 2
The days and weeks represent the
time it took God to reveal the
story of creation to Adam or Moses
Each day in Genesis is a 24 hour day,
but there were long periods
between the days.
The earth and all living things were
created with the appearance of age.
The trees, for example, created with
rings.
26. Match the view on origins to the short
definition.
Naturalistic Evolution
Naturalistic Creation
Theistic Evolution
Theistic Creation
Absolute Pantheism
Creation is an illusion, we exist only in the
imagination of God.
There is a theistic Creator beyond the world
who created it, but that from that point
on all living things emerged under His
control only by largely natural processes.
There is no God involved in creation,
it all occurs naturalistically.
There is no theistic Creator beyond the
world—only a creative Mind within the
universe that creates.
God directly created the universe,
living things, and human beings.
